Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 220 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing, reading, and thinking on a weekly basis in an informal setting.
Reading poetry out loud has helped me a lot. It helps me connect with what the author is trying to express as they write the poem. I have Sped read a poem before and the times I’ve done that I’d have to re-read it a couple of times until I understood the natural rhythm of the poem. I believe poetry is very interesting because they can go from Ryming to not have two words connect in any way. Now when John ciardi says a Poem is not to be confused with a paraphrase I believe is logic because the reading shouldn’t be trying to interpret the authors writing into something else instead the reader should be taking in what the write they read along.
I I love poetry, but hate it at the same time. I love that In poetry you can express a deep message in a couple of sentences. I love that you can play with the structure of the poems to help express your message. I love that you have to decode a couple of sentences to get the message, and in a way it sometimes make me feel smarter when I could decode it and understand it on my own. Poems has the power to really capture how you feel, and transform it into something beautiful on paper. I don’t exactly hate poetry, because hate is a strong word. What I dislike about poetry is the fact I have to decode poem to fully understand it, you have to read between the lines. I love and dislike poetry for the same reason. Something I have such a hard time understanding a poem and the answer would be in my face the whole time. I get caught up in overthinking a poem because I think it’s supposed to be more complicated than it should be. I mean in the end I guess you could say I love poetry more than I dislike it
